Colour Blocking


Loud, proud and bright
Your rich reds, bright yellows, blues, greens and your orange are all in and back in demand this winter. It has no specific sequence neither does it have any order, you simply just mix and match to complement to standard. When critically analysing shops in style, it is easy to spot that majority of clothing shops even shops who sell matured clothes are complementing bright colours this winter. What is colour blocking?     They reply “Color Blocking is combining different colors that support and complement each other” Are we brave enough to try it? We ask “ If you having trouble blocking colours try complementary colour blocking. Why? Complimentary colours are natural opposites so they work very well together. Wikepedia states that Complementary colours are pairs of colours that are of “opposite” hue in some colour model. The exact hue “complementary” to a given hue depends on the model in question, and perceptually uniform, additive, and subtractive colour models, for example, have differing complements for any given colour. Check out the colour wheel below to reference any colours that would look good blocked together.”

  1. The way that one dresses is important, however what looks immature on another individual can be seen as fashionable to another person. I think that knowing a pesons body type is important but it should not limit what colours you should wear. Im brave enough to try loud and proud colours what about you?

  5. I'm quite sure that's a made up word so people are detered from commenting but i won't fall for it i beleive fashion needs a facelift women need to be individuals instead of waiting on what fashion designers say is hot i like a woman who has her own look,not a barbie doll or a kerie Hilson or Rihanna bootleg.

  6. It is argued that colour blocking is said to make one immature and colour blocking is simply a new trend on mixing loud colours. The word is not made up, twice yearly designers gaze for what is in fashion for the next season and its up to an individual how they wear it in style which makes them different too
